Chapter 253: The Emperor Leads the Campaign in Person! An Offer I Cannot Refuse! Star Alliance! Loyalty!

"Is this the Forerunner's warrior? He's so powerful!"

The elite guards who were watching the fight at the scene couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when they saw this. They didn't expect that the fighting ability David displayed would be so strong.

Although their commander Morami is not as good as young elite warriors like Wadami, he is by no means an ordinary person.

At least in a one-on-one fight, there are definitely no more than three Covenant warriors who can defeat Morami in one move!

The fact that David was able to defeat their commander so easily was enough to show that the opponent's strength was definitely not something he could challenge.

"Tsk!"

At this time, David let out a light sigh and came to the side of Morami who had fainted. After taking a look at his condition, he turned his head to look at the elite guards in front of him.

He raised the power spear in his hand and made an eager-to-try gesture, thinking about having another fight with these elite warriors.

However, these elite guards are not stubborn fools. They would not be like Morami, who, after knowing clearly that the opponent is very powerful, still went to fight with others.

As guards of the elite tribe, they do value honor, but that does not mean they do not value the value of life.

What's more, he is a pioneer warrior, a god!
It's normal to give in if you can't win.

Immediately, these elite guards half-crouched on the ground and, like the wild boars outside the fleet, made gestures of submission to David and expressed their obedience.

And Wadami could only help up the unconscious commander Morami, as if he had expected it.

"lead the way!"

After dealing with the guards and Covenant commanders here, David continued to speak to Wadami.

And Wadami is also very smart. Although it can't understand the other party's language, it can understand David's meaning through the other party's tone and body movements.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Wadami, David and others continued to move steadily towards the headquarters command room, and recorded the locations of the passages along the way.

……

After David dealt with the headquarters of the Covenant fleet, a huge interstellar fleet also appeared on the Shield World 0459 celestial body!

It was a fleet led by the Infinity-class aircraft carrier, consisting of 16 RCS armored cruisers and 20 Valiant-class super-heavy cruisers.

The fleet left the hyperspace channel and anchored steadily in the galaxy where the shield world was located.

Obviously, this second wave of fleet that arrived near the Shield World was the reinforcements sent by the Universal Corporation.

As the CEO of the global giant company, Li Ang himself came here in person to check the work situation of David, Morgan and others.

As for the affairs of the Ideal City headquarters, they were temporarily handed over to the Transcendental AI Europa, and Secretary-General Lucy was in charge of it.

At this moment, under the command of Morgan Blackhand, the Long Night has led its team to complete the encirclement of the Shield World celestial body and formed a defensive array.

This is to prevent other ships from approaching the shield world.

Not long after, the Infinity-class aircraft carrier arrived at the galaxy and reunited with the Long Night.

Standing at the center console inside the Infinity-class ship, Leon was observing the enclosed Flood on the surface of the Shield World and the magnificent Forerunner creation - the Shield World celestial body - through information sent by the ground forces.

This was Leon's first time entering the 004 universe "Halo". When sending people to capture the planet Harvest, he was in command from the rear throughout the process and did not personally get involved.

Because he knew there was no need for him to take risks.

But the situation is different now!
Katherine Halsey discovered a large number of Forerunner relics on the Shield World and counted countless treasures.

Sojourner Dreadnought, World Seed, and even a connection system device for the Think Tank!

Once Leon learns the information about [neurophysics] through the think tank, the ultimate mysteries of the entire Halo universe will be revealed to him.

As the top leader of a giant company, with such important resources appearing in the Shield World, Leon had to come in person to receive these things no matter what.

This is to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from trying to use the technology in the think tank to secretly develop their own interstellar forces.

And once I arrive, I can intimidate the villains who are harboring evil intentions!

In addition, the reason why Li Ang chose to "lead the army in person" was also to test the managers of Universal City and other universes.

After all, it is impossible for him to focus his attention on the main universe and other conquered universes at all times.

He needs a group of specialized executives capable of handling these matters.

Therefore, Li Ang’s departure is also a work test for Lucy and other senior executives.

"Boss, our fleet has successfully docked!"

At this time, the voice of the Infinity-class captain reached Leon's ears.

"Ah."

Leon nodded and immediately turned on the communication device on the holographic screen. The captain of the Long Night, Morgan Blackhand, also appeared on the screen and reported to Leon:

"Boss, David and his team have successfully captured the Star Alliance's scientific expedition fleet, and now all the members of the Star Alliance have been detained."

"But to be on the safe side, I suggest sending more soldiers to guard against the Covenant soldiers causing trouble."

"In addition, the [031 Passionate Witness] Forerunner AI on the Shield World will soon open a channel for us. At that time, we will be pulled into the interior of the Shield World by the gravity field to avoid contact with the Flood."

After listening to Morgan Blackhand's work report, Leon just nodded slightly, and then he asked if anything else happened.

"There is nothing unusual inside the Shield World for now. David and Reed are watching over there, and any disturbance will not escape their eyes."

After he finished speaking, Li Ang said a few words to Morgan and then ended the communication.

Immediately afterwards, Leon continued to instruct the Infinity-class captain, ordering him to move forward a distance and let the fleet anchor in the gravity field area of ​​the Shield World.

"Yes, boss!"

After completing this series of commands, Leon left the center console and walked alone on the deck corridor of the headquarters.

Although David, Reed, and Halsey never stopped reporting on their work during the mission, Leon still felt a little uneasy.

After all, the existence of [031 Enthusiastic Witness] Pioneer AI made him feel somewhat surprised and stunned!
Logically speaking, after tens of thousands of years of existence, an intelligent AI would most likely go crazy, but this pioneer AI still remains rational.

After much thought, Li Ang could only believe that the Pioneer's AI technology might be able to bypass the design flaws of intelligent AI, allowing some Pioneer AI to maintain normal behavioral logic for a long time.

At that time, Halsey, who is proficient in intelligent AI, and Ott Cunningham can be arranged to conduct a detailed study.

Now, Leon’s primary task is to take over all the items and authority of the Shield World, as well as to take in the elites and wild boar captives who have been detained and controlled.

This group of Star Alliance forces plays a huge role in the giant enterprises and is the key point for Leon to disintegrate the Star Alliance!

……

After 12 hours, a large number of giant corporate warships appeared in the inner space of the Shield World.

There are countless reconnaissance aircraft and monitoring devices flying back and forth.

Under the control of David and other Astartes warriors, the Covenant cruisers have been completely taken over and controlled.

Since the Covenant's warships were basically all reverse-engineered from Forerunner technology, humans were also able to easily master the use of these warships' control devices.

At this moment, the artificial sun inside the Shield World has dimmed on its own according to the established "rising in the east and setting in the west" procedure.

The nocturnal animals living on this metal planet also come out to hunt and forage for food. The procedures of life and machines are exactly the same.

But in such a quiet and peaceful night, the engineering personnel of a global giant are busy building a planetary base.

Tens of thousands of construction workers from the Ye family and countless Hextech robots were busy working on the construction project inside and outside the huge base.

Employees of giant companies equipped with mechanical exoskeletons command AI robots in various places to complete construction tasks, and occasionally they personally carry materials. During this period, from time to time, confused temple defenders will appear. These stupid AIs will use monitoring devices to curiously observe human activities.

But they do not have self-awareness and can only simply scan and identify to analyze whether human behavior will cause damage and threats to the structure of the shield world.

Fortunately, after some identification, this group of temple defenders found that building a base did not constitute an activity to destroy the shield world, so they no longer paid attention to the situation here.

Continue patrol procedures and be on the lookout for any signs of the Flood within the shield world.

In addition, in order to speed up the construction of the base in the Shield World, Leon will also set up a star gate on the Star of Harvest to open it to the interior of the Shield World.

In this way, the cost of material transportation can be greatly reduced and the construction speed of the Shield World Base can be accelerated, making it easier for the giant companies to take root here.

At this moment, in the internal prison area of ​​an RCS-class armored cruiser, the Covenant soldiers, who had already been stripped of their weapons and power armor, were lying lazily in various cells.

Especially for the wild boars who were born to eat and wait for death, once they entered the prison, they felt like they were back home, sitting there waiting for the employees of the giant companies to come and distribute food.

At this moment, the wild boars, who had just had their fill of food and wine, were fast asleep in their cells, enjoying a leisurely life.

Compared to fighting and killing on the battlefield, the boars prefer to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and when they have nothing to do, they will find their wives to make babies.

In their view, this is the serious matter that a living species should really consider doing.

What's the use of a warrior's honor and the relics of the forerunners? Being able to survive and protect yourself is a success.

And for the Wild Grunt, the treatment of being a prisoner of war in the prison area of ​​a giant company's ship is really not bad!
They have food and drink and their lives are safe. These cannon fodders follow the jackals and the Jiralhanae to fight. Even when there are no enemies, they will be captured and tortured, or even eaten, by these beastly teammates.

Therefore, the wild boars prefer to stay with the giant companies, at least they can save their lives.

However, the elite prisoners of war on the other side were not so happy. These strong and powerful warriors all had endless energy.

He is the "Teddy" in the Star Alliance.

Before coming here, they thought that David would assign corresponding dormitories and rest areas for them. It was not until the gate was closed that these elite prisoners of war realized what was going on.

They were fooled, this is a fucking prison!

“Let us out—!!”

"Damn it, why do you treat us like this!"

"..."

There were waves of unwilling roars coming from the prison, but no one could understand what they said. The employees of the giant company just thought that these elites were howling because they had nothing to do.

However, these elites are not yelling and shouting all day long. They are quite well-behaved and honest when eating.

The creatures in the Star Alliance camp are basically carbon-based species, and the nutritional needs they need are similar to those of humans. Basic proteins, carbohydrates, water and other substances are also their necessities.

The food prepared for them by employees of giant companies are also standard meals for employees. These meals are rare delicacies for the elites.

After finishing their meals, some elite soldiers were more concerned about their reputation and continued to roar, while some elites were more pragmatic and started shaking their bowls after finishing their meals, asking the employees of the giant company to give them an extra portion of food.

From rebellious to "really good", all you need is free food and accommodation.

As for the elite colonel Wadami who had led David before, the commander-in-chief of the Covenant scientific expedition team, Morami, and the elite guards, they were detained in a specific prison area.

They were not as noisy as the elite soldiers outside, nor were they as snoring as the wild boars. Instead, they remained silent.

Obviously, they knew that no matter how much trouble they made, they would just be prisoners of war at the mercy of the other side. Now Morami only hoped that the leader of this force could form an alliance with the elite tribes.

At this moment, Morami huddled in a corner, not sure whether he was thinking about the humiliating duel in which he was defeated by David in one move, or whether he was thinking about how to save the lives of his subordinates next.

But the only thing that is certain is that Morami does not want to become David's enemy. It hopes to use this mysterious force to help the elites regain the leadership of the Star Alliance!

Seeing Morami's silence, Wadami, as his subordinate, also wanted to say something to comfort him, but he was worried that his superior would blame him for not stopping him.

So he could only follow Morami's principle of less trouble is more trouble, and became silent. Wadami would rather say nothing than make a mistake at this time.

Hey.

Hey!
Just when Wadami was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from outside. At this moment, Wadami realized that the Astartes warrior had arrived.

The elite warriors who were making trouble outside also fell silent and looked at the strangers who came here.

The wild boar beasts, who had been busy sleeping and eating, immediately woke up and stretched their heads to look outside the corridor.

In addition to the previous Astartes warriors, there were other "pioneers" wearing black uniforms who came here!
Although the person walking in the front did not have the exaggerated body shape of an Astartes warrior, the aura he carried made all the elites realize that he was of extraordinary status.

That man was none other than the CEO of the giant company, Li Ang!
The employees following behind Leon were Dr. Halsey, who had just joined the giant company, and Otto Cunningham, the new head of the scientific research department.

After arriving at the prison where Morami was imprisoned, Leon first looked at the matrix devices on Morami and Wadami's necks, and then looked at each other.

At that moment, Morami and Wadami felt their hearts tighten at the same time. They seemed to feel a natural sense of oppression from Leon's gaze.

Needless to say, the other party must be the leader of the group of iron can warriors outside!

Before Morami could speak or communicate with Leon, the matrix device on its neck suddenly took effect and began to infuse a large amount of information into the minds of the two.

It turns out that the matrix device on Morami and Wadami's neck is a tool used to extract and implant information data.

David forced all the other elite warriors and wild boar soldiers to wear these devices before entering the prison.

As the top manager of the matrix, Leon can freely input and output any information with just a thought.

Now, the information that Leon instilled in Morami and Wadami was the history of the rise of the Universal Corporation, as well as the plan to open the star gate and prepare to integrate the Halo universe.

In just a moment, Morami and Wadami had learned human language and a large amount of information through the matrix.

After a moment of silence, the elite commander Morami and Colonel Wadami immediately knelt on one knee and said in human language:
"Lipa Morami is willing to serve the Universal Corporation!"

"Tir Wadami, I am willing to serve the world giant and the Recyclers!"

Obviously, after Leon's information infusion, Morami and Wadami have learned the truth about the forerunners and understood their next true mission.

Soon, the wild boars and elite warriors outside also understood the true identities of Leon and David's group.

They followed suit and shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve the Cosmic Enterprise, the Star Alliance! Loyalty!!"

As the level of the matrix increases, this thing is no longer limited to the control of a single consciousness, but can also achieve synchronous control of group consciousness.

As long as they are connected to the matrix device, the consciousness and memories of these Star Alliance members can basically be freely reshaped and fabricated by Leon.

It can be said that as long as Leon is willing, he can control the consciousness of any living being at any time and use it for his own purposes.

But Li Ang would not change the other party's memory information at will, as that would easily lead to bugs and burn the other party's brain. There would not be such trouble if it was just simple information input and output.

The reason why Leon could make these Covenant members swear allegiance to him with just a thought was because he had already put the best plan in front of every Covenant race.

Simply put, Leon offered each Star Alliance group an offer that they could not refuse.

For the Wild Boar Tribe, Li Ang's condition was to make them a legitimate "outsourcing unit" of a giant enterprise. Although they did not have a set of welfare benefits, they enjoyed basic treatment as employees of a giant enterprise.

Food and accommodation are provided, and you will not be bullied. If you accumulate enough merits, you can be regularized and even come to work in Ideal City!

Of course, the above is just wishful thinking. After all, with the individual ability of Boarmon, it is already quite good to survive until retirement.

What's more, he has accumulated enough military merits to be included in the regular organization.

Even if some extremely outstanding and lucky wild boar beasts are able to get a job or even come to work in Ideal City, they deserve it.

Giant companies will not bury any talent. Any life form that makes outstanding contributions to the giant company, even if it is a piece of sticky slime, will get the reward it deserves.
